WOW! It's just beautiful! I have a few WM books..they are on my wish list. Your quilt is amazing. What about pebbling in the background? I would use two layers of batting and pebble....it will just make those appliques pop out.
Beautiful!

Simply awesome work, I have two of these books and started one large square in TN over the xmas holidays but have not gotten back to it. Did you fuse or applique these sections on. I fused and then went back and hand sewed each section. wow lots of work

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. I love echo quilting and that was my first thought, then I realized that small stippling would really make the applique pop up and out so that is my choice.

Oh my word! That's gorgeous! I agree with what several other posts suggest... I think echo would be good. As intricate as this top is, I think the simpler the quilting, the better (but that's just my opinion). You should be super proud of this beauty! It's stunning!
